ive failed

This thread's taught us that death is merely the beginning. When I get to hell i'll buy y'all the first round.

I might start recording my credit and commentating over it. If anyone wants to do the same and send it to me I could cover it all on my youtube. Just an idea

[ProjectAKo]

Yeah, I also did that, but no commentary.

Giga Wing - http://www.twitch.tv/project_ako/v/20497446
Raftime - http://www.twitch.tv/project_ako/v/20218200

Not much to see though. Even though I know a lot about ragtime I never actually practiced it.

Nice, simple game! Hitbox is a bit wide, but chalk that up to the era, I guess.

Okay I forgot to get a screenshot but I did record me forgetting to get a screenshot live:

Hopefully this will suffice!

Shepardus - Sky Smasher - P1 - PASS - 325,570
No autofire used, but I really should have turned it on for this e_e
Also, checkpoints are still the bane of my existence.
And that music gets old pretty fast.

I must say this was an intense round!

chum - Sky Smasher - P2 - PASS - 172,590

[pestro87]

I used autofire. Lost two lives with full bomb stocks due to those planes that come from behind... Nice game!

^Badass pic, that lightning struck at the perfect time!

Seriously fuck those guys.

I'm surprised how easily you guys have passed this one, I actually failed to clear it during my first blind test run. I'm loving this game though, I had never tried it before last night. It's like everything I wished Hishouzame was. I need to dig up more stuff like this. Might stick with it and try to get the 1cc...

[Shepardus]

I'm surprised I passed too, I had a pretty early first death that had me scared of not passing because I generally get destroyed by any game with checkpoints and no autofire. I survived the planes that come from behind purely through luck, and maybe habit, that I wasn't at the bottom of the screen when they appeared. At first I thought the enemy was in the background and was going to come up to the foreground, but I decided to avoid running into it just in case this wasn't RayForce in disguise. The bomb was very handy, saved me quite a few times during my run.

[cave hermit]

Didn't even get past the landing zone stage

Probably not in my best interest to be doing these runs while I'm tired, but eh, what can ya do.

Probably going to die next game.

[gimebe]

I botched both Ragtime Show and Sky Smasher.

Looks like I'll be joining Yagawa in Valhalla a little sooner than I'd hoped with my strong blind runs. Maybe he shall gently prescribe me a round of blindfolded practice.

[Legendary Hoamaru]

I thought I had more time for the last game, WHOOPS.

I was slow on pressing F12 after the smashing, so just look at the pretty clouds



Legendary Hoamaru - Sky Smasher - P1 - PASS - 343, 090
No Autofire

Sidenote: Those ships that come up from the bottom unexpectedly are ASSHOLES.

[EmperorIng]

Real life stuff made me completely forget about the great ragtime snafu.

EmperorIng - Sky Smasher - P1 - PASS - 416,520

[KoopaTGR]

KoopaTGR - Sky Smasher - P1 - PASS - 481,520

I beat the target (despite losing a few lives along the way) and also beat the target after that (Technically I got to Stage 3)

This game is quite fun if you look past the repetitive music and drab graphics

Also best score so far w00t

[copy-paster]

Failed in first stage, FUCK you checkpoints and terrible music!!

Moral message : always enabled autofire while blind running shmups

Didn't even get past the landing zone stage

Hope Lord YGW lows our damn high rank

[EmperorIng]

In general it's a good idea to watch a few youtube clips before playing the game.

[Heavy Viper]

Or just sit back, relax, and watch the attract mode demos!

[Shepardus]

Or just sit back, relax, and watch the attract mode demos!

I did that for this one! Gives a good general idea of what to expect, which is what an attract mode is for (besides, you know, attracting players to the game). I like to imagine I would do the same if I were to come across a game for the first time in an actual arcade.

[Blinge]

Probably going to die next game.

Nooo! Hold on, my fellow apostle!

I liked the graphics actually: theyre simple and effective- i like how it all looks like toys actually.

[Illyrian]

Both these games I have deliberately not watched anything of beforehand although I had played Giga Wing before. My intention is to go into any new game to me completely blind if possible.

Going to do my run after work tonight, hopefully not after wine this time.

[Illyrian]

Well this run was a mess. I made it, but got to the boss with no lives left and 1 bomb and somehow flailed my way through it.
